The big change is the addition of the hwlat tracer. It not only detects

some latency from large boxes having bus contention.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Traditionally, cpufreq is the area with the greatest number of
changes, but there are fewer of them than last time. There also is
some activity in the generic power domains and the devfreq frameworks,
a couple of system suspend and hibernation fixes and some assorted
changes in other places.
One new feature is the cpufreq change to allow the scheduler to pass
hints to the governors' utilization update callbacks and some code
rework based on that. Another one is the support for domain removal in
the generic power domains framework. Also it is now possible to use
hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO enabled and devfreq supports the
RockChip DFI controller and the rk3399 DMC.
The rest of the changes is mostly fixes and cleanups in a number of
places.

governors via their utilization update callbacks and use it to
introduce "IOwait boosting" into the schedutil governor and

CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics
of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially
increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace.
mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
mount --make-rshared /
for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done
Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem
as some people have managed to hit this by accident.
As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned.
Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users
as follows:
> The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of
> the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance
> problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less
> than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired.
>
> Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that
> have been triggered and not yet expired.
>
> The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common
> case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've
> not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries.
>
> The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large
> number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat
> more active mounts.
So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount
namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I
know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase
in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and
malfunctioning programs.
For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing
to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

While going through enqueue/dequeue to review the movement of
set_curr_task() I noticed that the (2nd) update_min_vruntime() call in
dequeue_entity() is suspect.
It turns out, its actually wrong because it will consider
cfs_rq->curr, which could be the entry we just normalized. This mixes
different vruntime forms and leads to fail.
The purpose of the second update_min_vruntime() is to move
min_vruntime forward if the entity we just removed is the one that was
holding it back; _except_ for the DEQUEUE_SAVE case, because then we
know its a temporary removal and it will come back.
However, since we do put_prev_task() _after_ dequeue(), cfs_rq->curr
will still be set (and per the above, can be tranformed into a
different unit), so update_min_vruntime() should also consider
curr->on_rq. This also fixes another corner case where the enqueue
(which also does update_curr()->update_min_vruntime()) happens on the
rq->lock break in schedule(), between dequeue and put_prev_task.

Almost all scheduler functions update state with the following

if (queued)
dequeue_task(rq, p, DEQUEUE_SAVE);
if (running)
put_prev_task(rq, p);
/* update state */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(rq, p, ENQUEUE_RESTORE);
if (running)
set_curr_task(rq, p);
set_user_nice() however misses the running part, cure this.
This was found by asserting we never enqueue 'current'.

When a task switches to fair scheduling class, the period between now
and the last update of its utilization is accounted as running time
whatever happened during this period. This incorrect accounting applies
to the task and also to the task group branch.
When changing the property of a running task like its list of allowed
CPUs or its scheduling class, we follow the sequence:
- dequeue task
- put task
- change the property
- set task as current task
- enqueue task
The end of the sequence doesn't follow the normal sequence (as per
__schedule()) which is:
- enqueue a task
- then set the task as current task.
This incorrectordering is the root cause of incorrect utilization accounting.
Update the sequence to follow the right one:
- dequeue task
- put task
- change the property
- enqueue task
- set task as current task

select_idle_siblings() is a known pain point for a number of
workloads; it either does too much or not enough and sometimes just
does plain wrong.
This rewrite attempts to address a number of issues (but sadly not
all).
The current code does an unconditional sched_domain iteration; with
the intent of finding an idle core (on SMT hardware). The problems
which this patch tries to address are:
- its pointless to look for idle cores if the machine is real busy;
at which point you're just wasting cycles.
- it's behaviour is inconsistent between SMT and !SMT hardware in
that !SMT hardware ends up doing a scan for any idle CPU in the LLC
domain, while SMT hardware does a scan for idle cores and if that
fails, falls back to a scan for idle threads on the 'target' core.
The new code replaces the sched_domain scan with 3 explicit scans:
1) search for an idle core in the LLC
2) search for an idle CPU in the LLC
3) search for an idle thread in the 'target' core
where 1 and 3 are conditional on SMT support and 1 and 2 have runtime
heuristics to skip the step.
Step 1) is conditional on sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores; when a cpu
goes idle and sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores is false, we scan all SMT
siblings of the CPU going idle. Similarly, we clear
sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores when we fail to find an idle core.
Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the
average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup. There is a
significant fudge factor involved to deal with the variability of the
averages. Esp. hackbench was sensitive to this.
Step 3) is unconditional; we assume (also per step 1) that scanning
all SMT siblings in a core is 'cheap'.
With this; SMT systems gain step 2, which cures a few benchmarks --
notably one from Facebook.
One 'feature' of the sched_domain iteration, which we preserve in the
new code, is that it would start scanning from the 'target' CPU,
instead of scanning the cpumask in cpu id order. This avoids multiple
CPUs in the LLC scanning for idle to gang up and find the same CPU
quite as much. The down side is that tasks can end up hopping across
the LLC for no apparent reason.

Since struct sched_domain is strictly per cpu; introduce a structure
that is shared between all 'identical' sched_domains.
Limit to SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES domains for now, as we'll only use it
for shared cache state; if another use comes up later we can easily
relax this.
While the sched_group's are normally shared between CPUs, these are
not natural to use when we need some shared state on a domain level --
since that would require the domain to have a parent, which is not a
given.

There is no point in doing a call_rcu() for each domain, only do a
callback for the root sched domain and clean up the entire set in one
go.
Also make the entire call chain be called destroy_sched_domain*() to
remove confusion with the free_sched_domains() call, which does an
entirely different thing.
Both cpu_attach_domain() callers of destroy_sched_domain() can live
without the call_rcu() because at those points the sched_domain hasn't
been published yet.

The partial initialization of wait_queue_t in prepare_to_wait_event() looks
ugly. This was done to shrink .text, but we can simply add the new helper
which does the full initialization and shrink the compiled code a bit more.
And. This way prepare_to_wait_event() can have more users. In particular we
are ready to remove the signal_pending_state() checks from wait_bit_action_f
helpers and change __wait_on_bit_lock() to use prepare_to_wait_event().

__wait_on_bit_lock() doesn't need abort_exclusive_wait() too. Right
now it can't use prepare_to_wait_event() (see the next change), but
it can do the additional finish_wait() if action() fails.
abort_exclusive_wait() no longer has callers, remove it.

___wait_event() doesn't really need abort_exclusive_wait(), we can simply
change prepare_to_wait_event() to remove the waiter from q->task_list if
it was interrupted.
This simplifies the code/logic, and this way prepare_to_wait_event() can
have more users, see the next change.

Otherwise this logic only works if mode is "compatible" with another
exclusive waiter.
If some wq has both TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiters,
abort_exclusive_wait() won't wait an uninterruptible waiter.
The main user is __wait_on_bit_lock() and currently it is fine but only
because TASK_KILLABLE includes TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and we do not have
lock_page_interruptible() yet.
Just use TASK_NORMAL and remove the "mode" arg from abort_exclusive_wait().
Yes, this means that (say) wake_up_interruptible() can wake up the non-
interruptible waiter(s), but I think this is fine. And in fact I think
that abort_exclusive_wait() must die, see the next change.

Since commit:
2159197d66 ("sched/core: Enable increased load resolution on 64-bit kernels")
we now have two different fixed point units for load:
- 'shares' in calc_cfs_shares() has 20 bit fixed point unit on 64-bit
kernels. Therefore use scale_load() on MIN_SHARES.
- 'wl' in effective_load() has 10 bit fixed point unit. Therefore use
scale_load_down() on tg->shares which has 20 bit fixed point unit on
64-bit kernels.

Current code can call set_cpu_sibling_map() and invoke sched_set_topology()
more than once (e.g. on CPU hot plug). When this happens after
sched_init_smp() has been called, we lose the NUMA topology extension to
sched_domain_topology in sched_init_numa(). This results in incorrect
topology when the sched domain is rebuilt.
This patch fixes the bug and issues warning if we call sched_set_topology()
after sched_init_smp().

A while back, Paolo and Hannes sent an RFC patch adding threaded-able
napi poll loop support : (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/620657/)
The problem seems to be that softirqs are very aggressive and are often
handled by the current process, even if we are under stress and that
ksoftirqd was scheduled, so that innocent threads would have more chance
to make progress.
This patch makes sure that if ksoftirq is running, we let it
perform the softirq work.
Jonathan Corbet summarized the issue in https://lwn.net/Articles/687617/
Tested:
- NIC receiving traffic handled by CPU 0
- UDP receiver running on CPU 0, using a single UDP socket.
- Incoming flood of UDP packets targeting the UDP socket.
Before the patch, the UDP receiver could almost never get CPU cycles and
could only receive ~2,000 packets per second.
After the patch, CPU cycles are split 50/50 between user application and
ksoftirqd/0, and we can effectively read ~900,000 packets per second,
a huge improvement in DOS situation. (Note that more packets are now
dropped by the NIC itself, since the BH handlers get less CPU cycles to
drain RX ring buffer)
Since the load runs in well identified threads context, an admin can
more easily tune process scheduling parameters if needed.
